The Home Office does not hold this information


The Home Office collects and publishes data on public complaints and conduct matters, including whether the allegation was referred to misconduct proceedings. Data is published on an annual basis and the latest publication covered cases finalised in the year ending 31 March 2022. These data are available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/user-guide-to-police-misconduct-statistics


These data includes cases which have been finalised and does not include ongoing cases. Furthermore, the Home Office does not collect information on whether officers under investigation are working or suspended.
